Introduction
What the Forecite API does, who it's for, and its conventions.
The Forecite API is a low-latency interface to market-moving news and filings, each scored by the Verdict Engine for actionability and sentiment.
What you can do
- Stream or query the scored feed — pull the latest scored items, filtered by ticker, source, sentiment, and time.
- Fetch full detail for any item, including per-symbol analysis.
- Score your own artifacts — run the Verdict Engine on text you supply.
- Inspect your key — check tier, usage, and remaining quota.
Who it's for
- Quant desks wiring signals into execution and research pipelines.
- Discretionary traders building alerts and dashboards.
- AI agents that need a clean, scored, real-time news layer.
Two ways in
| Surface | Use it for |
|---|---|
| WebSocket | Real-time push of new scored items as they break. |
| REST | On-demand queries, history, and scoring. |
This reference covers the REST surface.
